Building on the success of their previous collaboration, Sperry is reuniting with New York City-based brand Colbo for another collection that fuses heritage style with a timeless flair. To usher in a new fall season, the duo is taking its focus to the traditional Oxford shoe. Considered one of the best dress shoe styles for the upcoming holiday season, the Oxford shoe is a year-round pick that elevates any look. Through Colbo’s distinct style, this classic Oxford retains its classic look while picking up some modern details that will stun a new generation. According to Jonathan Frankel, President of Sperry, “With this collaboration, we’re not only introducing a fresh take on one of our heritage styles, but also sharing in the energy and creativity that Colbo has cultivated around its brand.”
Sperry and Colbo revive the classic Oxford shoe with a fresh, modern lens
Taking on Sperry’s Captain’s Oxford, Colbo’s co-founder and designer, Tal Silberstein, revamps the heritage shoe with subtle details that bring it into a modern era. One of Sperry’s original designs, the Captain’s Oxford is an important shoe for the brand, making this a special collaboration. Crafted in Horween leather uppers, the Captain’s Oxford develops a luxurious patina over time, becoming more personalized with each use. Inspired by dress shoes from the 1930s and 1940s, the Oxford is a minimalist design that makes it versatile enough for everyday wear. Featuring the collaborative leather foldable sole, the Captain’s Oxford pays homage to the special relationship that the two brands have forged. On the outside, Vibram outsoles provide durability and reliability. Upgrading the classic shoe with subtle modern features, this Oxford feels rejuvenated with plenty of added comfort. The Sperry x Colbo Captain’s Oxford is priced at $350 and is available via Colbo’s and Sperry’s webstore.
